you would break apart our small community here just over something this stupid?
Power makes you do stupid things anyway
just what kind of "community" is this? don't you mean circlejerk?

removing off-topic altogether is also a viable solution, don't you think?
The fact that this sentiment exists among the people that are supposed to survey this subforum frightens me. That's not stupid, but it's still pretty stupid.

This is the first step towards getting this community to the point where it's no longer a circlejerk, and from both sides of the debate I receive a whiplash. I'll assume this is natural for change.
silmarilen
community as a group of people together, if you want to call it a circlejerk then do whatever you want, in any community if you want to become part of it you will have to know how the community works, who are the respected people, how do people act in general, this isnt any different from that.
if this is a circlejerk then every community can be called a circlejerk
anyway im not gonna continue this discussion, we'll see what happens.

please don't get me wrong when I say this, Wojjan. I have loved off-topic, which is why I requested to be on board with you a little back when. but the direction this forum has been heading is south, wouldn't you agree?

maybe we should get those rules out and about.

silmarilen, I think dkun's and Wojjan's point is that the way previous thread was being used could have been better used in IRC.

If you have a message that addresses one person in particular, do not use a thread for that. I think that's stupid, wouldn't you agree?

and Mara, I think silm's point is that if you don't let people have chit-chat like that, there won't be any activity in OT anymore in the end. Seriously there are maximum 10 or 15 people who visit OT regularly and post something. If you want to save OT and bring back old days, your solution should not be a "rule"

The funny thing is my response to dkun starts with the exact same reprimand! Really start sending those things around, darlin's.

EDIT: as an added bonus, for a short while from here on out my outgoing PMs will have a declaration of my unconditional love for you personally supplied within. How sweet can this deal get, you guys :shock:
dkun
hey I just sent a PM! darn, this is getting better already.

so this is now just another thread that will kinda die after 5-10 pages?

I have the feeling that the original thread just jerks and twists in its grave.

Today I found out that the beginning of My Immortal reminds me of Les Mis.
I never thought of Lindsey Stirling's videos as something incredible, but it's never bad either. Keep up the slightly-above-mediocre work, Stirling? Also cover Ghost Love Score next time.

As you can see, it is because there is no active users. Remember how inactive the game you brought was? We were just playing it as 3 people or so. I guess I will have to copy the PM I sent to Wojjan:

"Why do we need a solution? People in OT "as a community" are/were happy with the current situation. We don't even have "that" active users who visit forums these days anyway, people quit osu! or whatever. And why are we trying to bring back the old OT? Yes, it was good it was fun because it had more people. Not because of the quality of posts, it had too much active users back in those days, that's why even the shitposting was fun. Now just because threads are going around with only 4-5 people, everyone starts bitching about how bad OT is and suggesting people to use PMs. Let's just use PMs and noone visits OT anymore, let's just remove it then. Only solution is activity, not just saying "hey I love OT" and not visiting OT for 2-3 days. Even old users are doing this, anyways. "

Like get over it. Is your inability to now post "hi cdfa" really such a big deal that it requires large drawn out paragraphs exemplifying how anybody with any sort of power has grown deep into corruption?

Like calm down omg

On a more lighthearted note, I've found out how to bypass the Skrillex DMCA

And how do you think we are going to get people in OT? Shitty threads really don't attract people. They actually scare people away.

Since CDFA decided to leave this post contentless and contextless, it is my duty to make it a pleasurable read.

Do we have to? If someone really wants to be a part of OT, it is easy you know.

I'd never post that anyway

But honestly, we can turn this around. Is posting "morning kyonko" and "morning slimfast" once every 24 hours such a big deal that it requires large, drawn-out narratives of dkun masterfully utilizing a glaive to exemplify how "bad" OT has become? No.

In fact, I can't say OT is as bad as anyone claims.

The point of avoiding shitposts was so OT's users could have a good time in the alienated subforum—didn't matter how. I have no idea how things were "back then" and I don't really care. I was having a particularly good time in OT today, and for some reason beyond my comprehension, modmins decide to take action. The problem is that I see nothing wrong here. OT has been acting as I would expect. Which brings me to my next point:

Mara wrote:

People that belong in OT will naturally flock to it, assuming they have the time and leisure to do that. It's how I ended up here, and I don't plan to go anywhere else anytime soon unless peppy decides to overhaul the website (which was why I left my previous board in the first place).

On that note, the only way you can get more users in here is to get people that would browse off-topic forums in circle-clicking, which is a pretty slim chance in itself.

Every Off-Topic always has the same standard. Back when I was in Bungie.net, the slogan was "if it doesn't fit anywhere else, it goes here." In here, it's "for the not-so-logical discussions." OT is always treated as the black sheep—the weirdo in the family. It shares a unique mindset with its users. Trolls are common, random, sporadic humor is the norm, and mods got to act like mini-tyrants but also as caring seniors towards the userbase.

The most important thing is that the forum can stay active by means others cannot afford—spam, shitposts, and otherwise being uninteligible. I stay in places like these just for that luxury of being stupi--I mean stupid.

(TL;DR) I don't know if it could be better, but it doesn't matter. OT's fine as it is as it has not fallen to absolute circlejerking and/or stagnant inactivity.

I actually only made that pretty write-up so you'd have something cool to read, the drama in there doesn't reflect the level of drama the mods feel! Gomen ne~
